I ordered 13.5 volt ulbs and got the same 12 volt bulba I get locally. They burn out quickly and get too hot.

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend

Merchant response: Although Ancor Marine lists the bulb you received with a design voltage of 13.5V, this does not address the fact that the electrical system on your boat is nominally 12V regardless. LED is an alternative that will best address bulbs overheating or burning out too quickly.
